How panel pricing templates price a panel
See how a panel's rate comes from the template matching its core, external finish and internal finish combination.
When an organization prices panels via panel pricing templates, an eligible panel is priced by the template matching its core + external finish + internal finish combination (per panel area, with wastage).
The panel's constituent prices — edge bands, finishes, glues, profile/handle — are zeroed and their child rows suppressed, because the template price is all-inclusive.
Every panel with that combination then quotes at 0 until someone fills in the template's price.
Not all panels use templates: panels priced per length, shutters priced by 'design' logic, and mirror/skirting panels keep constituent pricing.
A designer can also pick a different template for one specific panel row (stored per instance).
Template price overrides made in a design are remembered per SKU within that design, with the same stickiness as any manual price override.
Pricing is panel based: a panel's rate comes from the combination of its external finish, core material and internal finish, plus shutter designs.
Tags are created for these combinations so the rate follows the finish/core/internal selection rather than individual colours.
The pricing template screen lets you tag each combination with external finish, internal finish and shutter design (including shadow design).
The quotation reads the panel's rate directly from the matching template.
A panel that combines an external shutter finish with an inner laminate is still priced by the single panel pricing template matching its core + external finish + internal finish combination, so the shutter and inner laminate are quoted together as one panel price rather than as separate line items.
Panel rates are not a single flat ply rate: the rate depends on the material actually used and its thickness, so a thicker panel (e.g. 16 mm) costs more than a thinner one (e.g. 6 mm) for the same finish, and different finishes carry different rates. The same material can appear in multiple thicknesses and core types, each with its own rate.
